Alright, this is a rant from me about why i despise spoof movies.
First off, let me say that i was a fan of the FIRST TWO "Scary Movie"'s. However, that was a long time ago, and realizing now what true cinema is, i've formed some opinions on the subject. Now, recently spoof movies have been declared as "Modern Cult Classics" and that's a load of crap. The so-called writer-directors of spoof movies are almost as braindead, random, and as unfunny as the "movies" (if you can call them that) that they produce.
Spoof movies and their humor are usually crude, taking swipes at modern culture and popular tv shows and fads. Both of which are unfunny in themselves and even more unfunny as they are being made fun of. These directors are horrible, they can't write real, intelligent movies, so they leech off of successful movies in a sorry attempt to create their own.
"Disaster Movie" and "Meet the Spartans" humor will and only can apply to the narrow-minded pre-teens of America, because i remember being 11 and 12 thinking that Date Movie was hillarious, and now that i'm 15, i now see that it's a terrible, awful excuse for cinema, and it makes me want to throw small rodents at the wall in pure anger.
All that spoof movies are is a collection of poop humor, urine humor, fart humor and fake celebrities fighting eachother....now, if you are over the age of 5 when people that are 5 years old find the above things funny, then please tell me....WHAT IS SO FUNNY ABOUT THAT???I stopped laughing at farts when i was 10..unless the directors target audience are 10 - year olds...which wouldn't be smart on a number of levels.
The worst thing is is that they will just keep coming. As long as we have icons and people that define us as a "Culture" then these untalented, brain-dead, mediocre "writers" will have something to make fun of.
I once asked one of my best friends; "When are they gonna stop making these crap spoof movies". His reply was the most eyeopening thing i've ever heard someone say about a spoof movie.."When they run out of words...." and that is 1000000% true. Until they run out of words, then they will keep them coming for our uneducated pre-teen, narrow-minded public out there to jeer and leer at for 2 weeks until the name of the movie is never spoken again.
Last; spoof movies aren't even SPOOFING the topics that they say that they are....i mean Meet the Spartans spoofed "Shrek 2"...when you start spoofing comedies...then it's over, that's the end of line, but in my opinion, the line should've ended with "Scary Movie 2".
